WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
REMEMBER HOW IT FEELS.
PHOTOGRAPHS
THAT HONOR
YOUR CONNECTION.
Weddings are a tapestry of connection—the bond between you and your partner, the cherished relationships woven with friends and family, the deep tie to the place you’ve chosen to celebrate. Every glance, every embrace is a thread in the story of your day; a thread in the story of your life.
Your photographs are more than memories; they are a reflection of the love and presence that define your celebration. Long after the celebration ends, your photographs have the power to transport you back to the beauty and meaning of your wedding day.
My purpose is to help you stay present, to document the essence and raw emotion of your day. With intentionality and care, I create imagery with resonance—a timeless reminder of the connections that make your story uniquely yours.
“My wife and I would recommend Mae to any and all couples looking for THE photographer to capture their special day. First and foremost, her pictures were exceptional - she captured candid moments between family and friends that brought to life the love and authenticity of the moment. The other (and just as important factor in our eyes) was her kind, calm, and positive demeanor throughout the day. Nerves, stress, and anxiety can come in waves on the wedding day, and Mae provided a warm and calming presence throughout. My wife and I get a bit camera shy when all the attention is on us, but Mae had a natural way of making us feel comfortable, and truly brought the best out of us. Both her organized and candid pictures of us, our family, and friends are moments we will cherish for a lifetime.”

“Not only is Mae extremely talented and a master of her craft, she is also a kind and beautiful soul. She made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and was able to fully capture the magic of our special day! Our wedding photos turned out AMAZING! We still look at them daily, and are just so happy that we chose Mae as our wedding photographer. She is the BEST, and we can’t recommend her enough!”
— Pierina & Sean, married at Aurora Cellars
HI, I’M MAE.
I am an observer. As both a photographer and a writer, I aim to pay attention, to see the importance in both the mundane and magic moments.
I have been photographing weddings since 2009, and accept 15 weddings a year. I photograph weddings all over the Midwest, but my home base is Leelanau County, right next to the Sleeping Bear Dunes. This region of rolling hills, vineyards, and shoreline carries a certain magic to it, and I love telling the stories of folks who choose to get married here.
